“Spending all that time with a possible murderer doesn’t scare you?” It should! Another unsettling shocker series to watch. Netflix has debuted the main official trailer for another brand new series titled The Beast in Me, a crime thriller following a woman investigating her neighbor. Set to launch on Netflix in November. From the creators of “Homeland” comes another tricky new series. Author Aggie Wiggs, grieving her the loss of her son, finds new purpose unraveling the mystery behind neighbor Nile Sheldon’s vanished wife and his suspicious dealings. At once horrified and fascinated by this man, Aggie finds herself compulsively hunting for the truth – chasing his demons while fleeing her own – in a game of cat & mouse that might turn deadly. Surprise, surprise. The series stars Claire Danes, Matthew Rhys, Brittany Snow, & Natalie Morales. With Jonathan Banks, David Lyons, Tim Guinee, Hettienne Park, Deidre O’Connell, Aleyse Shannon, Will Brill, Kate Burton, Bill Irwin, Amir Arison, & Julie Ann Emery. “The title of the series comes from a Johnny Cash song — but it’s not as simple as it might initially seem. It really is about all of our complicity.” So he’s some kind of Dexter killer (maybe?) but there’s more explaining how we’re all complicit, right? Intriguing…

Here’s the full trailer (+ poster) for Gabe Rotter & Howard Gordon’s series The Beast in Me, via YouTube:
